    I'm back!!!!

    Got myself a 2019 Cement TRD OR Double cab long bed. So excited to be back in a Tacoma.

    I have read threads over and over and still not sure about a straight answer.

    Questions is:
    I want to level my truck, just the front. I am thinking 5100's @1.5 and leaving rear alone. Any advice as to will this work, will it ride better? I don't want to screw up my stock suspension and want it for looks and to put a bigger size tire. I also don't really want rake since I don't haul.

    Any advice?

    You should change the title of this thread and not use the word help unless you are in a emergency situation .

    Alright this "help" in the title thing is getting kind of stupid. Been on this site for like 2 years now and I MIGHT have seen one dude that needed vehicular assistance/help.

    If I'm in trouble is usually call my family, friends, or walk somewhere (if close enough) lol



    OP. Grab some 5100s, set it to the third clip 1" lift. Good to go. If you want to save a couple hundred bucks just leave the stock rear shocks if you aren't touching the rear, height wise.
    1.5" lift in the front will definitely leave you front high, telling you from experience.

    In my experience you would need the front of your truck to sit 1” taller.. using a 1/2 spacer (I had this setup on y previous 3rd gen taco) or using different coils and shocks..

    Yes until mods move them to the recovery section. They are also frequently in regional forums.

    Wow. I don't think I've actually seen one in about a year, maybe more. Mods must be good at moving them...which supports my case of these titles not being important..

    Not an exact answer as I have the 6112's in the front. But I have them set at the 3rd and 4th notch (staggered as recommended by Bilstein) and gained about 1 inch in the front leveling out the truck. My front is about 1/8 taller, measured from the center of wheel to bottom of fender. Without taking a measuring tape to it, you can't tell that there's a slight reverse rake. For the rears, I have 5160's with the stock leaf pack so there was no lift added to the rear.

    You can go up 1 size to 265/65/18 with no rubbing.

    Thanks for the replies so far. So I think majority of people that want to level their truck raise the front and back and keep rake for the best ride. At this point I may just stay with stock suspension and just add some 265/70/17 tires.
